The most likely response in the scenario described is:
**The organism will not be able to adapt, and the species will go extinct.**
When a rapid, major change occurs in the environment, organisms that are well adapted to the previous conditions may struggle to survive and reproduce if they cannot cope with the new conditions. While some individuals or populations may eventually adapt over time, the immediate consequence for many organisms facing drastic changes can be extinction if they cannot adjust quickly enough.
